10 Great Ways to Improve Your Golf Game

Improve Your Golf Game
  1. Improve Your Pitching

As a lot of these probably do, this sounds a very obvious one. But do it. Think of all the missed opportunities you’ve had on short par 4s and the lay-up par 5s.

To master your three-length swing, you simply work the clock face arm swing and repeat your 09:30, 10:00 and 10:30 swing to build control of your distance. Then repeat, and repeat and repeat. You get the point.

We suggest playing your local par 3 course as often as possible to improve your short game.

  1. Clubface Control

Clubface control separates the good players from the average ones and the world-class players from the tour players.

The margins are fine when it comes to opening the clubface on the backswing and how long to leave it open on the downswing.

To improve this part of your game, assume your standard grip and twist your bottom hand to face away from the backswing and keep it facing that way for the whole swing.

A lot of golfers aren’t aware that what is considered ‘square’ at the top is 90 degrees open. That is the rotation the clubface requires to be square at the ball.
